The moment Raine entered her room, she grabbed her journal and walked out to her balcony. She pulled up a chair to the table and started to write. She didn't feel like packing just yet and she had all day to do that. Although the meeting seemed to take forever, it was only a few hours. Raine stopped writing for a little bit.
She began to talk to herself. "I'm leaving at dawn tomorrow on this journey to destroy an amulet that should've been destroyed anyways. The Dark Lord is alive and searching for the amulet. He has all the orcs and Uruk-Hai and other creatures fighting for him, plus he'll be on guard this time. Besides that, my old kingdom with their stupid delirious ruler is out to get the amulet and rule the world." Raine stopped to breath in. "And yet, I'm not scared." Raine stopped for a minute to ponder her feelings. Excitement, yes, Fear, no. Raine shook her head. "I really am insane."
"I knew it!" a cheerful voice chirped from her right. Raine looked over the railing and saw her younger sister Taja laughing from her balcony. Raine scowled, but it turned to a smile against her will. "How long have you been there?" Taja shrugged. "Just in time to hear your confession I guess." Raine snorted. She looked down at a page in her journal. "You're not packing?" Taja continued.
"No, not yet," Raine said, jotting down something. "Ok, I'm done. I'm going to pack now." Taja rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I should be starting too," she said, and with a small wave of her hand, she disappeared into the curtains. Raine closed her journal and closed the bottle of ink. She walked back into her room. Setting her things on the table, she looked around her wide room. She shouldn't bring too much things. Raine opened her closet and rooted through the outfits. They were all plain things, and just a couple dresses. She wasn't the kind of elf to obsess over clothing. All the fancy party dresses that she had worn to parties had been either Taja's or Isabel's. Raine began to pick out the plainest outfits and throwing them behind her onto the desk.
Isabel sat on her bed. She was already through packing. Gaffin had just informed her that the food would be packed for her and she should pick up the packages tomorrow before she left. The oldest of the three sisters sighed. She patted the pack one time and then left the room to see Raine.
She knocked on the door of her younger sister's room and waited until she said, "come in." Isabel let herself in and saw Raine folding her clothes and stowing it in the pack. "Still not done yet? I am." Raine shrugged. A few moments passed silently. Finally, Isabel broke the silence. "Are you nervous?" Raine turned around to look at her. "No," she said truthfully. Isabel sighed and sat down on the bed. "Are you?" her younger sister asked, tying the bag up and setting it on the floor by the bed. She sat down next to her. "Are you nervous?" Isabel nodded. "Of course I am." She looked around the room as she talked. "4 years ago I found out I had a family and wonderful sisters. I don't want to lose it." Raine studied her with her green eyes. She tentatively hugged her older sister. She usually didn't get all touchy feeling, but this was an exception. "You wont," she whispered. Isabel smiled into her shoulder.
"I can't believe it!" Gracie shouted at her, her eyes flashing her hurt and anger. "You can't leave!" Taja sighed. "I'm not leaving forever. I'll be coming back. It's only a little trip." Gracie stomped around the room. "Well, if it's a little trip, why can't I go with you?" Taja sat down on the bed, pushing her pack away to make room. "Gracie, I'm sorry." Gracie shot her a look and then ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Taja sighed again and fell onto the bed.
